[llvm-commits] [PATCH] Add OpenCL support to makefile system

[Daniel Dunbar]

Hi Peter,

I've never been really happy about KLEE using the LLVM Makefiles, I
think we should probably find a way to solve this wholly on the KLEE
side (even if it means just cloning all of the existing LLVM Makefiles
to start with).

Not very fun work, I know...
